City councillors in Amsterdam have decided to reduce by half the number of nights Airbnb hosts can rent out their apartments in the city — imposing a cap of 30 nights per year, down from the current 60 nights per years (via DutchNews.nl). The new limit will go into force in 2019.
It’s just the latest squeeze on the short term rental platform in Europe. (Though, to be clear, the Amsterdam cap applies to use of any home sharing platform by residents, not just Airbnb.)
